DALI LY
MANY MOUBN kEPPLER.
The Celebrated Carloaturlst of Puck, \Vho
Amused Thousands, Is Dead.
~NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The death of J o-
sef Keppler, the caricaturist, at his home,
27 East Seventy-ninth uregt, while not
wholly unexpected was nevertheless a
shock to his many friends. Much sorrow
at it was expressed today in journalistic
and art circles.
Mr. Keppler leaves a son and two daugh-
ters. Preparations are being made for the
funeral, which will probably take place on
Thursday.
Joseph Keppler was born in Vienna on
Feb. 1, 1839. His first work was in his fa-
ther’s confectionery shop, where he at an
early age began designing fancy shapes for
the pastry. At the age of 16 he took to the
stage for a time. After that he studied
art in Italy. In 1869 he came to America
and went to St. Louis to study medicine.
He soon tired of that and went into the
theatrical profession again until bad busi-
ness forced him into drawing humorous
pictures. He next started a comic paper
in St. Louis called Die Vehme, the name
of which he afterward changed to Puck.
The paper failed.
He then come to New York, and in 1872
received a position in Frank Leslie’s es-
tablishment. He then became acquainted
with Adolph Schwartzman, and these two,
against the advice of Frank, Leslie, revived
in 1873 the German Puck, which was fol-
lowed by the English Puck in three
months. The colored cartoons were at
that time a great novelty and created a
success for both papers. Several years ago
Mr. Keppler and his partner erected the
handsome Puck building at the corner of
Houston and Mulberry streets.
It is rumored that the fortune left by
Mr. Kepplcr is nearly half a million dol-
lars.
Smith College Girls Indignant.
NORTHAMPTON, Mass, Feb. 21.—The
Smith college girls are indignant today as
a result of an order by President Seelye
that the 700 girls in the college can have
only one ticket each to the talk of Chaun-
cey M. Depew on Thursday, and also
that the annual reception by the young
ladies on Washington’s birthday, which
has always been attended bystudents from
Yale, Harvard and Princeton, will be dis-
continued.
A Victory For the Duchess.
LQNDON, Feb. 21.—Justice Stirling today
decided that the house No. 3 Carlton House
terrace, which the Duchess of Marlborough
(formerly Mrs. Louis Hammersley of New
York) purchased and assigned to the late
duke, belonged to her and not to her bus-
band’s estate. Justice Stirling held that
the loan being repaid to the creditors the
property must revert to the duchess.
A Funny Man’s Jake.
TACOMA, Feb. 21.—The funny man on
The West Coast Lumberman threatens to
go out of the business. In the last issue
be inserted an item stating that two prom-
inent men, Corbett and Jackson, were
looking for a mill site on Puget sound.
Letters of inquiry are now pouring in,
asking for particulars, from real estate
men having first class “mill sites.”

RAH‘WAY. N. J., Feb. 21.—-George VVar-
burton of East Rahway was committed to

ball for an atrocious assault with intent to
kill on Mrs. Ellen Brunt on Sunday last.

early in February, 1893, nearly frozen from
exposure. It was alleged at the time that
Warburton had drugged her.
The "Jag Cure Law” Killed.
LANSING, Mich, Feb. 21.—The supreme
court has knocked out Michigan’s “jag
cure law” of 1893. The law authorized
justices to sentence disorderlies to take the
cure for the liquor habit. The court says

delegate to private corporations power to
make laws for the discharge of offenders.
Kicked to I‘sath by a Horse.
BORDENTOWN, N. J ., Feb. 21.—-Samuel
Chambers, a farmer living at Chesterfield,
